Ipod

[rsrguy]

I'm going to rip my collection fresh this winter.... I'm running the Kenwood mechless head units at this point. Any suggestions on which format files to rip to? Or am I stuck with apples lossless format when using the ipod?

They still make Ipods?

Nope.. I've ordered an SD adapter to bump the memory, so in theory I'd have a bit more space to store lossless.

maybe get an unlimited data plan with an aptx HD capable phone and use tidal or amazon prime music, both have lossless streaming and its rather good. I absolutely hated being limited to a certain amount of GB and having to download a song vs just searching it up and adding it to my playlist and thats that.

Apple rereleased the ipod touch and I believe it starts at like 200 bucks

I had qobuz for a few months, I wasn't to impressed. Its just time to upgrade my library so I'm going this route for now. I can build it to anything up to 1000gb. Which file format do you like for this app nauc?

Not sure why you'd use qobuz, the User Interface sucks and everyone thats tried both says tidal sounds miles better and has a bigger library. You also need an aptx HD capable phone if using bluetooth or use the otg or lightning cable if you do a direct plug. Aux cord is trash, like the worst option.
